Hartmann, a talented storyteller in the realm of survivor romance, where love and life are intricately intertwined, is taking a new approach with ‘Dream On.’ The novel follows the journey of Hollywood star Lexington Hall and Stevie St. James, a small-town dreamer whose paths cross on a high school stage, igniting a brief but intense romance that leaves a lasting impact.
Years later, with Lex’s fame soaring and their past turned into a public spectacle, the characters find themselves entwined in a complex web of emotions and fabricated relationships. As Lex reenters Stevie’s life to maintain their on-screen saga, the lines between reality and fiction blur, leading to unexpected turns of events.
‘Dream On’ is not just another romance novel; it caters to both young adult and adult audiences, offering a fresh and upbeat perspective on love, dreams, and self-discovery. Hartmann’s previous works, including ‘The Wrong Heart,’ ‘June First,’ ‘Older,’ ‘Catch the Sun,’ and ‘Still Beating,’ have established her as a powerhouse in the romance genre.
In an exclusive statement to PEOPLE, Hartmann shared her inspiration behind ‘Dream On’: “Dream On is a love letter to anyone who’s ever felt lost beneath the weight of their dreams. It explores the idea that love can flourish when we strip away our masks and reveal our true selves.”
Set against the backdrop of Hollywood’s glitz and glamour, the novel delves into the intricacies of relationships and identity, challenging societal norms and perceptions. Hartmann’s take on the popular fake dating trope offers a compelling narrative that seeks to redefine conventional notions of romance and authenticity.
‘Dream On’ is scheduled to hit bookshelves on Aug. 8, with preorders already available at major retailers. As fans eagerly await the release of Hartmann’s latest creation, the buzz surrounding the novel continues to grow, promising a captivating and emotionally resonant reading experience for all who embark on this literary journey.
